If you're not too confident on your knowledge of the Faroe Islands, it might be because the remote archipelago has yet to receive the Google Street View treatment.

But now, a campaign is looking to change that through the wondrous power of sheep.

With less than 50,000 people living on the islands, and more than 80,000 sheep, the local tourist organisation Visit Faroe Islands decided that the natural move was to make use of the abundant resources to appeal to Google.

Durita Dahl Andreassen, who works for the body, decided to enlist the services of the wooly locals by attaching a 360-degree camera to the back of a sheep, powered by a solar panel, and letting it waltz around and capture the hilly terrain. They call it Sheep View 360.

As the sheep graze around the islands, pictures are sent back to Andreassen with GPS co-ordinates, which are then uploaded to Google Street View. So far the Sheep View team have taken panoramic images of five locations on the island, seen on the map below. A 360 video has also been produced so you can fully experience the sheep life the way you've always wanted.
